Hum— Suddenly, Jie Tian formed hand seals, and a concealed formation materialized.
However, this concealed formation only enveloped the dozen or so people present.
Apart from Ling Mousi, the remaining individuals were all figures of considerable strength and status.
Upon seeing this, Ling Mousi and the others said nothing, simply waiting quietly.
They knew that Jie Tian had something to say to them.
Jie Tian turned to Ling Mousi. "Elder of the Sacred Level, you should be aware of the formations that our Seven Realms Sacred Palace has set up at this location, correct?"
"Young Master Jie Tian, you mean to say—" Ling Mousi was not certain, so he asked in private.
"The Sealing Grand Formation," Jie Tian said.
"This old man is aware of it." Ling Mousi nodded.
"Do you have the authority to activate it?" Jie Tian asked.
"I do have that authority, but—" Ling Mousi hesitated.
"You're afraid of failure?" Jie Tian asked.
"Young Master Jie Tian, Chu Feng is indeed someone that the Seven Realms Sacred Palace must capture."
"However, this Sealing Grand Formation was established as a precautionary measure."
"Now that Chu Feng carries the Death Exemption Medallion, and that is, after all, a formation technique from the Ancestral Martial Sacred Sect, this old man fears that our Seven Realms Sacred Palace's Sealing Grand Formation may prove ineffective against him."
"If this formation is wasted in vain, then it would truly be—"
To Ling Mousi's explanation, Jie Tian merely smiled.
"In the end, you're still afraid of failure."
"But as a Sacred Level Elder, you have many things to consider. That much is understandable."
"Then let me make this decision."
As Jie Tian spoke, a command token appeared in his hand.
Upon seeing that token, not just Ling Mousi, but every elder present had their expressions change.
They all knew what that token represented.
That token was precisely what was used to activate the Sealing Grand Formation that blanketed these ruins.
Furthermore, this token of Jie Tian's bore the two characters for "Palace Master" engraved upon it.
Clearly, this had been given to him by Jie Tian Ran.
"Activating this formation is my decision alone. It has nothing to do with you, and I will bear the responsibility."
Hum— With those words, Jie Tian directly activated the command token.
BOOM— The very next moment, the earth trembled violently.
The tremor caught the attention of everyone both inside and outside the ruins, but apart from Jie Tian and his group, no one else had any idea what had actually happened.
Because aside from that tremor, the so-called Sealing Grand Formation displayed nothing.
Apart from the token in Jie Tian's hand.
The token he had used to activate the formation had now released a small-scale formation map.
The formation depicted a map, and the central region of that map was none other than the main city of the ruins where they currently stood.
But this formation map did not merely cover this single ruin.
Beyond the ruins, it enveloped an enormous range as well.
Just then, Jie Tian formed hand seals and actually opened a formation node, after which he fused his bloodline power into it.
That formation map actually began to expand.
"Could it be—?"
Even Ling Mousi was greatly startled upon witnessing this.
He had realized that Jie Tian was using his own bloodline power to increase the coverage area of the Sealing Grand Formation.
"There's no need to worry."
"My grandfather has long since modified this formation."
"My bloodline can control it."
While the others were still reeling in shock, Jie Tian offered his explanation.
